I am bringing Professional Strongman Competition to Dryden, Ontario in conjunction with Moose Fest and the Dryden Truck Show on June 25th. This is the biggest event of the year in Dryden and they are expecting a big crowd, the strongman show will be one of the key events. This is a CSM level event with $6000 in cash, prizes, and trophies. All athletes will receive a welcome package, event t-shirt, dinner the night before, breakfast the day of the event and a free night’s stay at the hotel the night before. Entry fees will be $100 and non-refundable to deter no-shows. The competition will have 12 competitors with spots being open to athletes across Canada and the US. Ten spots will be for Canadian Athletes and two will be for US athletes. Invitations will go out to athletes who have received a verbal spot by March 1st. All other athletes interested in competing will be recorded with spots awarded by past performance and availability. Please contact me if you are interested in competing.
Dryden is a community of 10,000 people located between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. They are a hardcore town and will be fully supportive of this event. Flights can be arranged to Dryden (somewhat expensive), Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, or Duluth and International Falls in Minnesota. All of the equipment used will be my own.
